A bit about us:

Larkrise Community Farm is a social care farm that works with adults and children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) or SEMH through practical, hands-on, nature based activities and learning. We are also an Alternative Provision that provides respite for school students who are struggling in mainstream education.

Through sharing our knowledge, love and care of farm animals, horticulture, nature and the outdoors, our students build self-esteem and confidence. They develop unique bonds with our animals and lasting friendships with their peers. Students at Larkrise Community Farm complete AQA unit awards which are certificates of achievement. These short practical awards empower students to enhance their skills in areas of interest as well as build a sense of achievement and success. Schools have reported improvements in their student's self-worth and motivation in the classroom due to their time on the farm.
